Prosecutor: Man Spit On, Slapped Judge Smoking Outside Daley Center

(STMW) — A North Side man is accused of spitting at and slapping an elderly Cook County judge outside the Daley Center because he wanted her to stop smoking, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

David Nicosia got in the 79-year-old female African-American judge’s face and called her “Rosa Parks” as she was taking a puff in the Daley Center plaza Monday afternoon, Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Erin Antonietti said.

Nicosia told the judge he wanted her to stop smoking and allegedly spit in her face after the two got into a verbal argument.
